ДРЕВНОТРАКИЙСКИТЕ ЗЕМИ В ЮГОИЗТОЧНОЕВРОПЕЙСКИ ДИСКУРС
THE ANCIENT THRACIAN LANDS IN THE SOUTHEAST-EUROPEAN DISCOURSE

Summary/Abstract: The paper outlines the path of research on the Thracian Antiquity from the first studies in the first half of the 18th century until Thracology became an autonomous academic domain. The most important publications and academic forums illustrating its emergence from the shadow of Ancient Greece and Rome are indicated, as well as the most important achievements in the research on the ancient Thracian lands in the context of Southeastern Europe and the new perspectives that would lead to reinterpretation not only of finds and sites, but also of the overall socio-economic life, foreign policy and economic relations. The political history of the Thracian kingdoms is usually examined from the viewpoint of military and political clashes. The stereotype of opposing Greeks and Thracians was gradually surmounted, which led to the elaboration of the expressed idea on the ancient Thracian lands as contact zone of economic, cultural and trade interactions.
